I used to love him, now I don’t She used to love himBut now she didn'tHe said he loved her a thousand timesBut when her pleas of loneliness and silent criesin the middle of the night went unansweredShe changed her mindIn the beginning it was different (isn't it always)

He promised her the worldPast the moon and the starsShe believed him with her being (so it seemed)Took it all inAnd dreamed the impossible dreamA world where the two of them were togetherForever (maybe)

Because in the back of her thoughtsDoubt and uncertainty became kinAnd his touch no longer tickled her skinBecause she felt it knew itCouldn't name it, didn't want to believe it

But she knew he'd changedHer body changed formsOutwardly her stomach enlargedInwardly she starvedBecause her craving for love was not being fed

Her weight increased from the need to releaseall the hurt and painYet she remained coupled with himHe grew slim Refusing to partake of the love on his plateAnd began to nibble at foreign delicacies

Her heart brokeand she took in all of his sinsAnd attempted to mask what was no longer beautifulAlthough she knew the truthShe refused to let go

Afraid she'd never have another chance to be coupledFor she felt she was no longer appealing to the male eyeFor she had extra packaging around the waistAnd her thighs were likened to thunder

She felt hugeBurdened by the knowledge that she had to let goFor he didn't love herAnd yet she didn't know how to leaveHer breathing was uneasyAs she stepped across the bridal threshold

She kneeled on the floorNear the bags he'd packed and placed by the doorShe couldn't moveIt was no longer unspokenBut painstakingly clear

His heart hadn't been there in yearsAnd through scorching tearsShe watched the person leaveHis heart was brokenThat was the true reason he couldn't give himself to her

His momma never hugged him like he neededAnd his innerchild pleaded for her armsIn his home, where he grew up, where he was fromThere was no warmth, love didn't flowSo he didn't grow

Stunted by childhood painUnable to understand that his mommaThought depriving him of emotionwould make him a better man
